Daylight and Kama were both savages so far as their stomachs were concerned.

They could eat irregularly in time and quantity, gorging hugely on occasion, and on occasion going long stretches without eating at all.

As for the dogs, they ate but once a day, and then rarely did they receive more than a pound each of dried fish.

They were ravenously hungry and at the same time splendidly in condition.

Like the wolves, their forebears, their nutritive processes were rigidly economical and perfect.
